Best Way to BLUR BACKGROUND in DaVinci Resolve Free & Studio

[@GoadedGoblin]

How would you do this in the free version of DR if your subject was moving closer to and then farther from the camera, while doing jumping jacks for example?

thanks a lot for another fantastic tutorial. You've added some essential information to what I already knew about masks and blur techniques...cheers from Hamburg !

[@AlliandWill]

You’re welcome! Appreciate your comment!

[@embers-cotswold-walks]

Best explanation I've seen. Due to the nature of my films I only use a Gopro so this will be invaluable. Thank you so much!

[@AlliandWill]

You’re welcome!

I’ve been motion tracking in AE for a long time - interesting to see how Resolve handles it! I hope the AI trend makes its way into motion tracing to be even more content-aware.

[@AlliandWill]

Ya I hope it’ll get significantly better with AI too!!

you also do not need to add another node you can invert the mask at the pen tool and adjust the mask settings at the same time

Is this usually used when filming wasn't able to get the background as blurry as they wanted?

[@AlliandWill]

Yes, exactly!! It can help make the footage look for high end by separating the background form the foreground

[@Daksh.108]

Sometimes my davinci is not able to track background of fast moving video how do I fix it?

[@tmussOfficial]

Lens blur is not available in the free version? only studio

[@Alpha_0ne276]

Yeah that's what I was wondering, you have to use another type, such as gaussian blur

[@Nanamariamatu]

Thank you Alli !

[@AlliandWill]

No problem 😊

[@larrymuana2260]

[@AlliandWill]

You’re welcome!!

I used the first technique in my free version of the app, but when i made the blur overlay it said it was a paid feature, and now it has a huge watermark over my video :( Anyone know why? Thanks for the technique though it worked really well

[@peggyohikhuare108]

When I used the first method, the end of the process for my blur background, I couldn't complete because not a paid version.... then watermark was over all my video.....

[@mau_oj1]

nice tutorial 👍

[@KodieCollingsGaming]

Lens Blur doesn't work with the free version

Спасибо, все очень полезно!)

[@JimRobinson-colors]

The tutorial is decent - but people should be aware that "P" is only doing full screen because you must have it programmed to do so under top menu - Davinci Resolve > Keyboard Preferences" - Some people might be clicking P and wondering why it doesn't go full page- I believe the default is Command-F

[@oliviapreston8111]

Wow depth map is awesome. And hard to say 😂

[@AlliandWill]

😂😂

[@tmussOfficial]

you can use the same procedure here using Gaussian blur for the free version of Resolve.

Soooooo cooooool!!!!

[@John_Krone]

Great video. Thanks

[@AlliandWill]

Appreciate the comment!

[@agitageral]

It's sad to see that a program as advanced as DR still doesn't automatically do cropping and background blurring... whereas in a program as basic as Capcut it's easier to do.

[@AlliandWill]

I agree that it would be nice to have that feature automated, however keep in mind that DaVinci is tailored to working professionals producing commercials and movies vs capcut which is tailored to content creators producing web content

[@JimRobinson-colors]

Magic mask is a bit of a resource hog but does do the rotoscoping and quite well. Blurring should be a choice- all blurs can make a different look.
